Sunday Worship
Weekly Schedule
Join us for a special event meant to help us reflect on the sacrificial death of our Savior Friday night. Then join us for Easter Sunday at Bethany for our 9am and 10:30am services.
There will be no ABC’s or Sunday School on Easter Sunday. Nursery will be provided for ages 2 and under for all services.
As we continue our series on 2 Corinthians we’ve created a new notebook to conclude the series. Series Guide Book 2 covers the last 10 weeks of the series and includes sermon notes, a prayer journal, and sermon discussion questions. Grab one in the foyer this Sunday.
The proposed 2023 budget is now posted on the wall in the office for you to review. Pastor Ritch will be sharing more details about the budget and the Vision Projects during the service. The Budget Q&A meeting is the key place to ask questions and get clarity as we look towards the vote at the upcoming annual meeting.
